Review
"Excellent written for physiotherapists." "Jane Lockwood, Course Leader, Director of Physiotherapy, University of Nottingham"
text, clearly written....I liked this book and could recommend it as a useful main text to students of physiotherapy. There is also enough additional material for the interested postgraduate student and clinicians involved in sports and orthopaedic medicine."British Journal of Sports Medicine
this paperback Third Edition of Anatomy and Human Movement, the authors have further improved this now well established book...is a useful reference for any professional who is dealing with the musculoskeletal system and human movement."Physiotherapy in Sport
fourth edition has become more compact and easier to handle. An important and very useful tool, the book is dedicated to the student and practitioner interested in musculoskeletal anatomy and human movement."Erik Cattrysse, Manual Therapy, vol 7, November 2002
book is very well stuctured, organised and easy to read. The attention to detail is second to none. The changed layout changed to layout of text and illustrations aids the reader/learner.""

Review
"This is an effective anatomy textbook that is direct toward health science students who need a thorough understanding of human movement. It is well suited for students of physical therapy, kinesiology, exercise science, occupational therapy and athletic training in partiuclar."
American Physical Therapy Association
"It retains the best features of previous editions, but the content has been rationalised into five main colour-coded sections that aid navigation.Clear colour-coded illustrations and individual muscle diagrams showing muscle attachments all aid understanding and learning.This is an ideal student textbook.?

Format:Paperback
Normally it takes me 10 minutes to search through an anatomy text book to find one small piece of information (and when you are studying - every 10 minutes count). This new edition of 'Anatomy and Human movement' however, is lead out in such a simple and logical sequence that finding exactly what you're looking for takes no time at all. Also, the introduction of coloured diagrams and colour coded sections makes it much more easily read than the fourth edition.
This is a great improvement from the previous edition and well worth the investment for any student or professional.

A significant improvement from the previous editions that lacked colour and imagination. The 5th edition has coloured tabs for sectioning thus making the book easier to navigate. The coherent and colour illustrations bring some life into the book and are supported by indepth and detailed text, including where to palpate. Although not the most riveting book to read, though this is an anatomy book after all, it does provide excellent knowledge and clear manageable section summaries. A good value for money anatomy book and invaluable for studying.
As the author emphasise, the book is based on "understanding the mechanisms which allow movement to take place", which they have adequately achieved. It has certainly helped me in my studies, as I am sure it has enlightened many others. I don't really have anything negative to say, except it's a little wordy and in my opinion, compared to other anatomy book it's still visually on the dull side.

Format:Paperback
The main advantage this book has over other anatomy texts is it combines anatomy with biomechanics. If the concepts of pure biomechanics seem daunting then the movement descriptors in this book will be much easier to understand. It is well layed out with clear, easy-to-find colour coded sections - enabling the reader to easily dip in to specific anatomical areas.
A couple of criticisms; no referenced list to substantiate the text. Also the shaded graphics are poor compared with other books. Although anatomically accurate, if you want to see the structures exactly how they appear in the human body, and in quite graphic detail, you'd be better off with Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy (though this is pure anatomy, with no function).
It would be suited to physiotherapists, doctors and sports therapists or anyone with a specialism in the musculoskeletal side of anatomy. The text is aimed at degree level and beyond so not for the casual reader.
